A convertible inflatable device includes a first inflatable bed, a second inflatable bed, a front chamber, a left chamber, a right chamber, and a rear chamber. The first inflatable bed is surrounded by the front chamber, the left chamber, the right chamber, and the rear chamber. The front chamber, the left chamber, the rear chamber, and the right chamber are connected to each other sequentially. A first end of the second inflatable bed is connected to the junction of the first inflatable bed and the rear chamber. The convertible inflatable device can be converted to an inflatable bed, an inflatable boat, an inflatable water slide or an inflatable recliner chair, and the conversion between any of them is mutual and convenient.

A vehicle for conveying a rider within a tubular track comprises a support portion for supporting the rider and a retaining body adapted to retain the support portion against an interior wall of the tubular track. The retaining body has a sliding surface for slidable engagement with the wall of the tubular track. The support portion and the retaining body have a vehicle axis of movement about which the vehicle may rotate within the tubular track. An apparatus for transporting a rider comprises a tubular track having an interior wall and at least one vehicle.

A water attraction having one or more inflatable areas and/or features for reducing turbulence of water flow over a ride surface is disclosed. The water attraction includes a ride surface, a water delivery section, and a recovery section. The water delivery section provides water flow on the ride surface. The ride surface may include the assembly of multiple segments and may be fully or partially inflatable. The water delivery section may include one or more water delivery mechanisms, for example, nozzles. A water delivery mechanism may deliver a water flow different from the water flows from other water delivery mechanisms.

A slide feature for an amusement ride adapted to carry a rider or ride vehicle sliding thereon, and a water slide comprising said slide feature are provided. The slide feature has an inrun permitting ingress of the rider or ride vehicle, an outrun permitting egress, and a sliding surface in communication with the inrun and the outrun. The sliding surface may comprise a surface substantially in the shape of a sector of a closed curve and/or may be substantially planar. The slide feature may also include an outer lip and provide that the rider or ride vehicle, at least partially urged by gravity, slides along the sliding surface from the inrun to the outrun in an arcuate path at least partially bounded by the outer lip. The sliding surface may be oriented so an elevation of the rider or ride vehicle increases then decreases along the arcuate path.

The mobile sheet flow water ride apparatus of the present invention utilizes a rigid inclined structure. Ride surfaces, aisle surfaces, and surround fences are covered with protective inflatable air cushions. The ride apparatus of the present invention has non-retractable transport wheels and uses a multitude of adjustable jacks to take the load off the transport wheels and support the ride apparatus. The ride apparatus utilizes a 15,000 gpm double-suction pump driven by a 460-horsepower diesel engine that is transported in its own trailer. Water is pumped from a main storage tank through a horizontally-oriented nozzle that 2.438 meters wide and 6.35 cm high at supercritical speed. The water rushes up the slope, over a berm at the top of the slope, and back into the main storage tank through a square main return grate.
